When Facebook was first introduced I wondered what it would be like for
young people to go through life tethered electronically to almost
everyone they’ve known. Now it’s clear that for some being connected
forever via social media can be like hauling around a box of childhood
stuffed animals. There’s no room for them, but they have too much
sentimental value to discard.

Officially supports taxpayer funded abortions. The latest statement from the party's platform on the matter, courtesy of the weekly standard

"The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay."

That last part--"regardless of ability to pay"--is an endorsement of
taxpayer-funded abortions, a policy that President Obama has personally
endorsed. Obama wants Medicaid to pay directly for elective abortions, and Obamacare will allow beneficiaries
to use federal subsidies to purchase health care plans that cover
elective abortions. According to a 2009 Quinnipiac poll, 72 percent of
voters oppose public funding of abortion and 23 percent support it. In
other words, public funding of abortion--a policy President Obama
actively supports--is as unpopular as banning abortion in the case of rape,
a policy on which the media have focused much attention over the past
two weeks despite the fact that neither presidential candidate supports
it.

Nothing new for those paying attention, but the Democratic party is becoming more and more vocally hostile to human life and the human family.

Pretentious Precepts

"First Things means, first, that the first thing to be said about public life is that public life is not the first thing. First Things means, second, that there are first things, in the sense of first principles, for the right ordering of public life."

“A free society cannot survive if we are so free that nothing is expected of us.”
